“It’s been amazing and inspiring to see Gary grow as an artist since that first time he set foot on the ACL stage,” gushed the show’s executive producer, Terry Lickona, in a press statement. “From the first time I saw him play when he was sixteen, his talents were undeniable, and he has truly become the consummate artist—all the best that Austin represents.”

Clark’s episode of Austin City Limits premieres this weekend on October 5. Check local listings for air times. The upcoming season will also host appearances from Vampire Weekend, Maggie Rogers, Kane Brown, and more.
